Reading data from hand held barcode reader

[daN baueR]

First san and then I would suggest using a popup prompt to fill the one and
only field that needs operater input.  It would seem to me that would allow
for easier operator use. That way they wouldn't have to decide if and when
to put the scanner down to use the keyboard.
